Dog in Print: Five Dogs you Must Bring Home

Edit Article |

Calling all dog-lovers! Dogs have made some of the most unforgettable characters in literature. It’s not uncommon for children to become as attached to a dog in print as the real thing. Puppy love comes in all forms. In fact, I believe I can trace my canine-cravings to my earliest days of reading, when I fell in love with Old Dan and Little Ann (from Where the Red Fern Grows). Below, I’ve compiled a list of five famous dogs you must bring home for your littlest children! (Good news…you won’t have to clean up after these champions!)

Carl is the star of seven picture books by Alexandra Day. The gist of these stories is that Carl, a responsible and caring rottweiler, is given the responsibility of caring for baby Madeleine while her parents are out. Once the adults are out of the way the fun begins! Carl includes Madeleine on some wild adventures. Sometimes they just trail the parents (keeping out of sight, of course), and sometimes they get into trouble—but Carl always manages to cover his tracks! With realistic watercolor illustrations and few words (only those necessary to suggest the storyline), Day’s books are designed for very young readers, 2-5 year olds, and will make rottweiler fans out of readers everywhere.

In 1976 Eric Hill’s son Christopher was born. Eric created a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bed-time. In 1980 Where’s Spot? was published. Now over forty Spot titles fill the library bookshelves, and the list is still growing. Cuddly and creamy-colored, with big brown spots on his back and the tip of his tail, this dog is destined to be your child’s best friend. With simple storylines and sturdy flaps, Spot books appeal to 2-5 year olds.

This is the Fiftieth Anniversary for our next dog protagonist. (Now how old would that be in dog years?) Harry, a small white dog with black spots, was created in 1956 by Gene Zion. Five installments complete the Harry collection. He is a wholesome, amusing addition to any children’s library. Whether he’s trying to quiet down his neighbor, hiding a hideous sweater, or visiting the seaside, Harry’s always into mischief! Even reluctant readers, ages 2-8 years old, can’t resist Harry!

Norman Bridwell gave birth to the next character, basing him on the kind of dog he dreamed of having as a little boy. But there’s nothing little about Clifford! Even though he’s fire-engine red and as big as a house, Clifford doesn’t do anything a real dog couldn’t do (with a little imagination.) The Clifford stories are based on ordinary events that turn extraordinary when Clifford makes innocent mistakes. His side-kick is his sweet little blonde owner, Emily Elizabeth. Designed for readers aged 6-10 years old, Clifford has been a children’s favorite since 1963. Now a PBS cartoon, Clifford continues to delight dog-lovers the world over.

The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog introduces us to Hank, and it isn’t long before you get the impression that author John R. Erickson is a keen observer of dogs. Indeed, as a former cowboy and ranch manager, Erickson started spinning yarns about Hank and Drover, two dogs he worked with on the range. These “true” stories became the Hank series, which now numbers at 48 installments. Designed for middle readers, ages 6-12, these make perfect read-aloud books that will even entertain adults. There are even recordings of the author reading the books available now!

Without a dog-gone doubt, dogs in print can substitute as man’s best friend. It’s a fine reward to see your little one light up at the sight of a book. A good dog and a good book, a match made in heaven!

Want to Bring Home a Show Quality Rottweiler Puppy? Pick a Vom Flood Rottweiler Puppy

Benjamin Sabin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 21:32:13 +0000

If you want to buy a show quality Rottweiler puppy then you needs to see the beautiful, show quality puppies at www.vomfloodrottweilers.com. The puppies that are available now and the litters that will be coming soon are all sired by champion Rottweiler Quaid Vom Hause Enzien, who stands at stud at the Vom Flood kennel.

You can learn all about the illustrious history of Quaid Vom Hause Enzien and Vom Flood Rottweilers on their website and you can also browse through photos and descriptions of puppies that are available or will soon be available. Remember that when you’re looking for a show quality dog you need to be sure that the puppy is properly registered and has all the necessary paperwork. You also need to be sure that the puppy has received proper care and feeding and that the puppy has been seen by a vet and does not have hip dysplasia.

Read the purchase contract over very carefully before you sign and make sure that the description of the puppy is accurate. Also, many breeders include a clause in their purchase or adoption contracts requiring you to return to the puppy to the breeder if you are ever unable or unwilling to continue caring for it. If the breeder doesn’t have a clause to that effect in the contract then you should look elsewhere for a breeder. Reputable breeders, like vomfloodrottweilers.com, care about their puppies and would always want them back if you couldn’t take care of the dog anymore.

If you are buying a show quality dog then it’s very important to have a vet examine the dog before you purchase the dog to make sure that the dog is healthy and has no congenital defects that might impact the dog’s ability to participate in dog shows. You should also check the dog’s conformation, temperament, and other breed specific characteristics to be sure that the dog has the potential to be a champion. Puppies that come from championship dogs like Quid Vom Hause Enzien and vomfloodrottweilers.com usually have what it takes to be champions in the rings and beloved pets in the home.

1) If you are seeking a puppy with a proven pedigree for working or show, a loving loyal family pet like Quaid Vom Hause Enzien then you have came at a right place.
